Roxanne Brumley Obituary
Roxanne worked in a variety of professions, most as executive assistant, but her greatest pride and achievement was her employment in the Washington State Senate as Executive Assistant to Senator Peter von Reichbauer for five years.
She was an excellent cook and gourmet chef. She loved to sing and dance and she especially loved hula dancing. She was able to knit, crochet, sew and make origami figures. She taught herself to analyze handwriting and she was excellent in shorthand.
Roxanne is survived by her sons, Jason Barry (wife Rebecca, son Adrian), Lache King (girlfriend Emily); parents, Harry and Kuniko Nakashima; sister, Karla Groome (husband Dennis); brother, Wayne (wife Lyn); nieces, Denise Johnson (boyfriend Gregory and sons, Isiah and Marcus), Beth Green (husband Peter, daughter Kira); nephew, Drew Nakashima; stepson, Dustin Brumley (wife Christina), and stepdaughter, Ashley Nick (husband Brian, daughters, Autumn and Savannah and son, Hunter.
The family wishes to thank Angel at Angel's Adult Family Home and her family of caregivers for the excellent, compassionate care shown to Roxanne. We are all forever grateful.
A memorial service will be held at Forest Funeral Home, Monday, December 15, 2008, at 2:00p.m.

Karla and Wayne,
You both are so special for caring for Roxanne. I keep remembering us all as kids and Roxanne was always so special - bubbly and pretty. She will always be that way to me. Take care of yourselves and know that I am thinking of you. Love from your cousin, Yvonne.
